Hull City have completed the signing of midfielder Jake Livermore from Tottenham Hotspur for an undisclosed club-record fee.
The 24-year-old, who spent last season on loan at the KC Stadium, has penned a three-year deal with the Tigers after agreeing personal terms.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my season here on loan and I firmly believe that this club will keep going from strength to strength," he told Hull's official website.
"I made my feelings known that I wanted to come here permanently and once the two clubs had agreed the fee, it was very straightforward."
Livermore scored three goals in 41 appearances for Hull during the 2013-14 campaign.
